For several years, a man was having an affair with an Italian

woman. One night, she confided in him that she was pregnant.

Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid

her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly

have the child.

If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also

provide child support

until the child turned 18. She agreed, but asked how he would

know when the baby was born.

To keep it discreet, he told her to simply mail him a post

card, and write

'Spaghetti' on the back. He would then arrange for the child

support payments to begin..

One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused

wife. 'Honey', she said, 'You received a very strange post

card today.' 'Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it

later,' he said. The wife obeyed and watched as her husband

read the card, turned white, and fainted.

On the card was written:

Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti.

Three with meatballs, two without.

Send extra sauce.
